[Cris Alarcon]
Are you ready to win? Or are you just an "also ran?" American Politics is largely a Popularity contest. That popularity is in part driven by your campaign message, and in part by getting a popular message delivered to the voters.
Recently a friend asked me if most political candidates really understand the Digital Revolution? “Not enough,” I replied.
As a political candidate, most of your Time will be used in personal sales of your message, but most of your campaign Money will be spent on paid advertising. This is because personal appearances have great impact value, but limited reach. In 6 months of hard campaigning you will be lucky if you meet 10,000 people in person. Even in our small county there are over 100,000 voters and the only way to get your message in front of them is with paid advertising.
Direct mail, billboard signs, print ads, TV, and Radio are all proven ways to reach voters, but this misses the fastest growing marketplace for voter's attention, online. I will explain why this is a critical fault in a bit, but first I want to cover the high costs of paid advertising. In retail business the economics of advertising is a standard metric, but it might be unfamiliar to many. Here is a brief example of the "How much was spent" to get "How many new customers" calculation:
-- HIGH COST OF GETTING MESSAGE TO VOTERS --
Audience size: 100,000 [EDC Voters]
Direct Mail - Reach 25,000 [Highly targeted to top 25% of likely voters at $1 per piece] Cost: $25,000 per mailing. ($1.00 per voter)
Billboard Signs - Reach 50,000 [500 High traffic locations, at $50 4x8 w/ stakes, labor] Cost: $25,000 per cycle. ($.50 per voter)
TV & Radio - Reach 50,000, Cost: average cost of a 30-second TV commercial in Broadcast, Primetime, $62,400 {Statista 2018}. ($1.25 per voter)
Online / Digital - Reach 25,000, Average of 4 images displayed to each unique user. Cost: $1,000 [Experts estimate that people now need to see your digital content 15-20 times before you’re lodged in their brains. For your $25,000, you can make sure 600,000 people see your ad 15 times.] ($.04 per voter)

-- SOCIAL DIVIDE, WHERE DO YOU STAND? --
We are part of the Social Media Revolution. We are Digital Native voters, many Pols are Digital Immigrants... If they don't evolve to become relevant to us, they will die (politically). Digital Natives are an ever growing market, taking the place of the diminishing market of analog natives. Where do you stand on the Digital Divide? Are you Digitally Native, or are you a Digital Immigrant?
Do you embrace Social Media? Or are you wondering how to best get your message in front of that valuable audience? Today we have politicians that understand and use Social Media, and also those that are being marginalized with diminishing market share by missing out on the growing "Social Media" market.
-- DO CANDIDATES UNDERSTAND THE REVOLUTION --
When we look at many political candidates today, we see that they are still acting like it was 20-30 years ago, like they are "Socially" blind.
